South Africa is heading into the 2026/2027 season with strong grain supplies, but wheat tells a more complicated story.
In this episode of AgriView, we unpack the latest Crop Estimates Committee figures, including South Africa’s record 17.5Mt maize crop and an overall grain harvest of more than 21Mt.

So, will South Africa have enough wheat for the year ahead?
